Favorite Comedian/Comedienne?

I myself enjoy Wanda Sykes, right now she's filling in on Chelsea Lately, another show I enjoy nightly just because the people on the round table always are so funny! They're talking about beach volleyball outfits and pole dancing in the Olympics and they're so biased! Wanda and the other woman, Fortune, both like women and the two men do too, so there is no fair debate over this! Still funny, Wanda Sykes rocks!

Favorite comedian of all time is George Carlin. I can listen to anything he's ever done at any time and still laugh.

Favorite active comedian is easily Louis C.K. His stuff is brilliant.

If you haven't watched it then check out "Talking Funny" on youtube. It's a discussion about comedy with Louis C.K., Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld and Ricky Gervais. Great stuff there.

I'd link it but it contains some foul language :)

Edit: I don't care as much for his stand up but Norm Macdonald could be a professional interviewee and make a killing. I love listening to his interviews. His stuff on Conan O'Brien's shows are hilarious.

He's a really funny guy. I love his stand-up and I used to listen to his Monday Morning Podcast every week. I kinda fell out of the habit though and only listen on occasion these days though they're still pretty good.

My favorite bit that he did was the one about how he's sick of pedo-philes being on the news. Had me in tears.

Gabriel Iglesias. He's just always so happy. Some of the more angry comedians get old after awhile.

I know some people don't like my next fav but Jeff Dunham was pretty funny too. I saw him live once. It was great to hear Achmed go "shut the hell up!" to someone yelling in the audience. That type of yelling where the guy is obviously drunk. "Did the ticket say Jeff Dunham and friends with one loud dumbass from the crowd?!" That got me laughing. Also a loud airplane flew over the arena and Peanut slowly looking up because of it.

Let me see...I USED...to like George Lopez before he went political and started spewing BS in his last stand up. Gabriel Iglesias, Paul Rodriguez, George Carlin. I have to thank some players from both Horde and Alliance for mentioning him.

Greg Giraldo. This man was not only known for his Roasts but also to shows like Tough Crowd, Lewis Black's show, I forgot which one. His Comedy Central stand up. Its a shame he passed away almost two years ago. He had so much potential and probably the most underrated Comedians in today's society. Katt Williams, Patton Oswalt.

Lisa Lampaneli, the first time I saw her, I was disgusted, I thought she was crude. I was younger, but now, I'm older and I think, she is hilarious, she is cruel, but in a joking and funny way that doesn't even hurt the people she's talking about. She's been on like every roast on Comedy Central, being the headliner or whatever of one, I can't remember which one it was. She's a little too explicit for me sometimes though.

A lot of the people on Chelsea Lately are funny, Chelsea herself is just annoying sometimes, but the guests she has are so great.

One of my favorite lines said on the round table was from Ross Mathews about a pick up line in a bar for gay guys:

"Would you like someone to push in your stool?"

I almost died when I heard that!

She has the best Gay Guests, anytime Fortune Fiemster or Ross are on, I have to see it. Wanda Sykes is also a great guest. I love when she's on Ellen as well. Ellen takes the cake for making people laugh with wholesome humor (and the occasional embarrass someone in the audience), no dirty jokes like the queen of mean. My favorites from her are when she puts herself into movies out now (best ones, Twilight - Breaking Dawn 1, and Titanic, Mission Impossible was funny too).

George Carlin was THE best comedian ever. It's funny, because I always thought of him more as a philosopher than a comedian.

I also like Robin Williams, Denis Leary, and Patton Oswalt.

Yeah except he has no backround in philosophy nor does he know anything about philosophy. In my opinion George Carlin isn't that funny and his intelligence is overrated. He's not stupid but he's really not that smart. I've heard him say he's not an atheist even though he doesn't believe in god because it's also a religion....

Louis C.k has fantastic stand up. The Amazing Jonathan was really unique and funny the first couple of times I watched him also.

It's fine if you think of him that way but you're going to have to cite that last part. I've listened to tons of stuff he's done, aside from standup, and I've never heard him say atheism is a religion.
